Code 32, EGR Circuit Error With Linear EGR: Notes

1996 GMC Savana Special 6.5 YSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 GMC Sonoma and 1995 Chevrolet S10 Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Control module controls linear EGR valve using a pulse width modulated signal. Proper operation of EGR valve is determined using 2 separate diagnostic tests. A properly operating EGR system will directly affect fuel integrator counts. With EGR activated, integrator counts will be less than without EGR operation. If monitored integrator counts do not change with EGR commanded, Code 32 will set. Linear EGR valve also incorporates an EGR pintle position sensor. If actual (feedback) pintle position signal does not match desired pintle position, Code 32 will set.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
  1. Checks status of EGR pintle.
  2. Checks for correct operation of linear EGR valve.
  3. Checks linear EGR control circuit.
  4. Checks power feed to EGR valve connector.
  5. Checks EGR control circuit connections and control module.
  6. Checks pintle position signal circuit and control module.
  7. Checks ground circuit for pintle position sensor and control module.
  8. Checks for a grounded EGR control circuit.
  9. Checks sensor ground circuit, 5-volt reference circuit and control module.
  10. Checks sensor signal and circuit.
  11. Checks control module connections, pintle position signal circuit, EGR valve connections, EGR valve and control module.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
